NFL offseason thread

Snooty Orchard Park barely puts up with the great unwashed at Bills' games as it is. It's generally a stadium and a sea of parking lots located in a residential area, with a branch of the county community college across the street.

Negotiations have just started. My guess is, they'll end up with a 25/25/25/25 split between the NFL, the Pegulas, Erie County and the state. No Erie County politician could survive losing the Bills.

Adam Shaheens of the world = Typhoid Marys.

 

Foxboro is not a snooty Boston suburb (I used to live in Lexington, one of the snootiest), but it's very residential as well. The difference is that the land owned by the Krafts (before them the Sullivans) was ample enough for Patriots Place without displacing anything outside the land, and naturally the town fathers were delirious at the addition to the tax base.

 

Trevor Lawrence does not have a good day:

 

Maybe bringing in Tebow as an influence is working.

 

Colts' Wentz to have surgery, out 5-12 weeks

Carson Wentz's plan to rest and rehab his foot rather than undergo surgery lasted a day. The window of five-to-12 weeks seems a bit wide.

 

Keeping stats in training camp practices is ridiculous. So glad I'm not doing that kind of crap anymore.

 

Probably depends on what they find and how the surgery goes.

 

Probably, but I'm going to make an educated guess and say it will be closer to 12.

 

Educated how?

 

Past history. Plus Gee's Law of Football Physics: A Body in Hurt Tends to Remain in Hurt.

 

Then it's not educated. It's just a guess. Maybe not a bad one, but a guess nevertheless.

And "past history" is redundant.

 

On the bright side, the low end of that still has him back in time for the season opener. And even on the high end he's missing less than half the season.
